Well it seems there is no shortage of jokers with cars (or bikes) and video cameras in British Columbia as of late. This oh-so wise BMW driver decided to film themselves speeding down Highway 1 outside of Vancouver, likely somewhere between Langley and Chiliwack, BC. Clearly this genius didn't get the hint when a Yamaha R1 was seized after the owner's excessive speeding video made the rounds on YouTube last summer.

Filming yourself doing something stupid is one thing, but it's just depressing to see someone going to such lengths as to broadcast something that's not only super dangerous and illegal but at the same time also mind-numbingly boring to watch. Great job Captain BMW, your early '90s 535i can just barely crawl its way up to 230 km/h on a dead flat stretch of dry highway - one of our editors just went faster in a 4-banger wagon on snows!

It simply makes us wonder if the driver filmed it because he'd already told all his friends it could go that fast and no one believed him. One way or another we can only hope the BC RCMP gets wind of this and gives this driver the proper legal slapping he so greatly deserves. I mean, he doesn't even have two hands on the wheel in this self-made video.

BMW driver posts video of 230 km/h run on public road near Vancouver

Everything that needs to be said was already said in the article... last thing Vancouver needs is to be associated with more dumbass locals driving like this and putting innocent motorists at risk....

Hope the RCMP figure out who it is and get to him before its too late

Just an average commute in Germany

I initially thought this thread was about a new BMW 2-seater haha :okay:

Only a matter of time til this guy gets the book thrown at him

Who gives a fuck?

Hmm... seems to me that the guy was hand-holding his camera (cel phone) to film this while he was going down the highway?

I hope the police tracks him down and hits him with every possible offence they can use in the MVA.

Wow, so crazy! I totally hope he gets caught right away!!!

Some guy on YouTube driving semi-fast in a straight line, didn't get caught by police or charged with anything...is this what qualifies as auto news now? The story is just as boring as the video.

gotta record that noise at <230km/h to the mechanic at bmw for warranty :troll:

I'm gonna guess that it's this guys user name that appears in the top right corner at the end of the video. B5M3W5I

Thumb looks like Mr. Burns'

Mehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

"in British Columbia Canada"

:lawl:

Why do people insist on speeding in broad daylight with other motorists around?

You can't ban stupid, but could stupid at least move their shenanigans to a later time and a less populated place? At the least?

Meh......A quick trip to miller performance might solve the case.

Wow, 241,000 km on the odo

That's pretty decent. Didn't know beamers were that reliable.

20 more km's and he would of reached the limiter.. also filming with 1 hand and steering with the other :heckno:

Left hand on that steering wheel, right hand on that pussy
